1st Spell: [Video]

[friendyousohard]

Er... I think this is how it works.

Um... greetings. Er... I mean, hello. Or... well, whatever humans say in a situation like this. Is there proper etiquette for when you've been captured to another planet and had your species changed?

[Twilight is interrupted by a Dratini sticking his head into the camera, curious.]

Spike, cut that out. Um... and if the other Spike is seeing this, I promise, I named him after you, he's not a replacement.

Speaking of people listening to this, can anypony tell me if there is an Applejack, a Fluttershy, a Rarity, a Rainbow Dash, or a Pinkie Pie around? They're all very close friends of mine and I'd very much like to get in touch with them. As for me, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

I guess that's all I have for now...

Wait, no. One more question. How do you humans walk with two legs? I feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face!

I reckon the flu, what with how chilly it's been lately. Try an' bundle up, alright? Rarity's got a whole mess a' warm clothes waitin' for you here.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Oh. Just... that. I thought it was some strange human disease.

[She kind of slumps in embarrassed relief.]

Yeah. Don't worry, I'll keep warm.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry too much. Humans an' ponies don't seem so different, once you get over how weird their bodies look.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a relief. Especially since I'm going to have to hike for quite a while to reach you girls.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Hike? All the way here? In the freezin' cold? I ain't lettin' that happen, sugarcube. I'd bet good apples that that's what got you sick in the first place!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well what else am I supposed to do? I can't just stay in this town until winter passes! I've got some supplies, I should be alright.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I got a pal here in Goldenrod who can fly you here on one a' his pokey-mon. You'll be here in a few hours, 'stead of a few weeks.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... Wait really? That's amazing! What sort of Pokemon is it?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Depends on which one he picks. He seems to only train birds. He's got a Noctowl, a Pidgeot, an a Skarmory, among others, I'm sure.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment to look those up.]

Wow, those are all amazing... Do we have anything like that? Actually, can you tell me what Pokemon you girls all have?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I reckon you can meet the team when you get here, but I've got nine pokey-mon so far. They're all gettin' real strong, since I seem to be the only one of the group interestin' in fightin' the gyms an' all.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Not the only one anymore.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Oho~]

Really, Twi? Thinkin' about puttin' the books down an' steppin' in the ring? Sounds real interestin' to me.

[She's teasing, of course, but it doesn't change the fact that she's surprised to see her friend so excited about battles.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, AJ. I'm going to be using all the texts I can find to help me assemble a powerful team. Though it looks like most of what I'll need I can find on the Pokedex. Very handy.

[Hey, she's been given an assignment, at least that's how she sees it. And she's gonna see it through.]

Though... Are you telling me Rainbow isn't interested in fighting the Leaders? Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie I understand, but I thought she'd be all over that.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

We've been havin' our own little competitions, for sure. In the park nearby they have bug catchin' contests every once in a while. I reckon we scared a way a few competitors with how bad we were goin' at each other.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Bug catching, huh? Who won that one? Or did Fluttershy join in and beat you both?

[Because if there was one pony she could imagine excelling at a contest like that more than any other, it was Fluttershy.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

You know it. Me an' Dash captured the biggest an' toughest bugs we could find, but by the time Fluttershy was done, half the park wanted t'leave with her. Quantity beats out quality somtimes, I reckon.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[That gets a warm chuckle out of her.] I can imagine. So what did you each take home from that?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I got a Pinsir, and Dash got a Scyther. Fluttershy was just happy to make the bugs happy, an' didn't catch any of 'em.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[A quick check of her dex.]

Wow, those look really powerful. A strong, sturdy one for you and a fast, offensive one for Dash, huh? Sounds perfect.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' how about you? What's your starter?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[Twilight grins at that, and shifts the camera a bit.]

Meet Spike.

[The Dratini leans in to give the camera a curious peer, and squeaks happily in greeting.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Aw, hey there, little fella. I swear, you an' dragons go together like apples and cinnamon.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Finding him was the first good thing to happen to me here. Finding out you girls were all here waiting for me was the second.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' the hug I got waitin' for you here'll be the third.
